Russian President Putin said on Wednesday that Russia is discussing a new major infrastructure project that transports natural gas to China through Mongolia because Russia hopes that China can replace Europe as its main natural gas customers.

Putin said in a talks with Mongolian Prime Minister Luvsannamsrai Oyun-ERDene: "We are discussing a major infrastructure project that might implement a major infrastructure project.

Two leaders delivered a speech at the Russian Oriental Economic Forum held by Vladivostok.

The Russian Natural Gas Industry (Russian Gas) has been studying a new large natural gas pipeline-Siberian Power No. 2-the possibility of sending Russia to China to China through Mongolia.

Russia said that the proposed pipelines can transport 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas each year, slightly lower than the Baltic seawater connecting the Beixi Pipeline of Russia and Germany.

The existing "Siberian Power" pipeline from Russia to China was launched at the end of 2019 with an annual transportation capacity of 61 billion cubic meters.As Europe tried to get rid of the traditional dependence on Russia's natural gas, the pipeline will become a key source of income for Russia in the next few years.

Putin also stated on Wednesday that the Russian National Petroleum Corporation (Russian oil) has reached an agreement with the Mongolian government to build a pipeline leading to China by Mongolia.

** may stop supplying European energy supply **

Putin also threatened that if Western countries adopt the upper limit of oil and natural gas exports in Russia, they will cut off all energy supply, which increases the risk of energy distribution of some of the richest countries in the world this winter.

Europe has accused Russia of arguing energy supply to retaliate against the Western sanctions that the West has implemented it due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.Russia accused these sanctions that led to the problem of natural gas supply and blamed it on the pipeline failure.

With the intensification of tensions, Putin said that if the price limit occurs, the contract may be torn and warn that the West may be frozen as the wolf tail in the well -known Russian fairy tales.

He said on the Russian Oriental Economic Forum: "If you are conflicting with our interests, we will not provide anything at all ... We will not provide natural gas, oil, coal, heating oilAnything. "

About 40%of European natural gas and 30%of oil are usually imported from Russia.
